  • Oh, it's probably not work friendly if you are around co-workers.
  • It is funny, but it seems like it will hurt her cause more than help it.  I imagine she's just trying to be funny, not actually be an activist, but I didn't think she'd want to hurt the campaign, either.

    I don't really see how it hurts the campaign.  Maybe it's not the best video evah, but I found it amusing. :)

    And DH and I actually did go visit his Jewish grandpa in Florida this past summer.  I think there's a good chance he and his girlfriend will vote for Obama (though they had been Clinton supporters and do like McCain).

  • I think she is trying to be an activist actually, and I don't think it will hurt the BO campaign. People who get uptight about it probably were not going to vote for BO anyway.

    And maybe it is already working b/c latest polls have FL leaning blue!

    I'd like to think you're right, but I can just see blue-collar workers in swing states looking at this and thinking, "WTH?"  I think it's great for its target audience, but I'm thinking of everyone else who would see it and those are the responses I'm wondering about.

    I just don't see blue collar workers in Ohio watching this. They are not the audience.

    you're probably right.

    Yeah, I think the only way they would see it if it were on O'Reilly.  He does like to 'police the web', but I don't think this is soo outrageous or offensive that he (BOR) would care about it.
